“Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, Lazarus was dead....”
God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the CALLED!

Exactly the post from TomasUSMC that I got my tag line from.
Thank you for repeating it. Needs said many times daily.
Yes it is the same post... and he gave me permission to use it whenever I choose to...nice of him to do that.... as with the objections some are raising about Newt now. ...this was a good time to get it out there.
I think some Freepers expectations of a politician are way over the line of reality....’Jesus Christ’ is not running for President here... and I would chance saying if he was some would be like the Pharasees and Sadducees in how they see him.
It’s like asking Holllywood stars to prove their fidility before making a movie. There’s little diffenernce between the two as far as how the inner workings operate.
Here’s a good quote that fits I think....
“Democrats always like to brag that their guys are smarter than the opponents.... and Republicans always like to brag that their guys are more moral than the opponents. But if you’re looking for morals in politics you’re looking for bananas in the cheese department”....(Harry Shearer)
